18 February 2008


Hello everyone out there in tv land. We have been in the land of the long white cloud now for three weeks. It should be the land of the sometimes white most of the time gray clouds. Auckland weather is very strange. One minute it is sunny and beautiful and the next it is pouring down with rain. I always judge a good day by weather I can get the laundry dry. Some days have been a bit iffy.




So the boys have settled into school pretty good. They are starting to meet people which is very good. Thomas loves going to preschool, and frankly I love him going. He likes it there because they have a turtle and some fish and even a pet bird. All good fun.




We have been spending many long hours trying to find a car. I want something that can fit 7, he wants a truck. We'll see. We like to go on long drives but petrol is a killer. 1.70 a litre. Crazy.




We took a drive up the Coramandel Peninsula yesterday. It is so beautiful up there. The road is very narrow and windy but you drive right along the coast and the veiw is spectacular. We are going to drive up the other coast next time. There are all these little coves to explore. You just have to be careful of crazy truck drivers driving to fast and old people driving really slow.




Well I hope everyone is happy and doing well.




Love


Helene

Hey Baby,
All is well over here. Back into school and counting the weeks until the next holidays. Good to hear that all is well in the land of the long white (mostly grey) cloud. Still missing you.
